After lots of controversy whether she was going to perform or not, Kesha got her wish and killed it at the 2016 Billboard Music Awards. In fact, her performance of Bob Dylan‘s “It Ain’t Me Babe” (with Ben Folds) brought down the house.

In what was originally set up to be a statement towards her legal situation, Kesha surprised people by kinda going a different, more zen approach to her performance. She made no mention of Dr. Luke or really any direct correlation to her situation while she performed…instead opting for a subtle, emotional approach that was pretty awesome, in my opinion.
